The guides are 9” x 6” booklets with activity cards on a key ring. Each activity card includes step-by-step instructions, discussion questions and an estimated time for completion. The cost per booklet is $6.

A new Food and Farm Facts trivia card set also is available for $10. With more than 250 questions on 46 playing cards, the set brings a popular game element to important national agricultural statistics. In a classroom or living room, the cards test players’ knowledge about agricultural production, sustainability and nutrition. Cards are aligned to the 2017 Food and Farm Facts book.

Food and Farm Facts helps answer the questions “Where does our food come from and who grows it?” by exploring topics about agriculture in the U.S. The book can be used in a variety of ways to help increase agricultural literacy and would be a valuable resource in the classroom, at fairs and events, for student leadership organizations and on social media.
